With six million objects in its impressive collection, the Royal Ontario Museum is Canada's biggest natural history museum. With its new eye-catching, über-modern Daniel Libeskind design, the main building is now a magnificent explosion of architectural crystals, housing six galleries, including the new “Renaissance ROM” building. ROM's collections bounce between natural science, ancient civilization, and art exhibits. The Chinese temple sculptures, Gallery of Korean Art, and costumery and textile collections are some of the best in the world. Kids file out of yellow school buses chugging by the sidewalk and rush to the dinosaur rooms, Egyptian mummies, and Jamaican bat cave replica. The cedar crest poles carved by First Nations tribes in British Columbia are not to be missed; the largest pole was shipped from the West Coast by train, then lowered through the museum roof. The on-site Institute of Contemporary Culture explores current issues through art, architecture, lectures and moving image.

The Royal Ontario Museum incorporates a stunning Stair of Wonders. It's worth checking out the unusual, jagged glass exterior that tends to either delight or offend, With more than 40 galleries of art, archaeology and natural science, the ROM offers up a world of interest and fun.

Celebrating its centennial in 2014, the multidisciplinary ROM is Canada's biggest natural history museum and one of the largest museums in North America. You'll either love or loathe the synergy between the original heritage buildings at the main entrance on Bloor St and the 2007 addition of 'the Crystal,' which appears to pierce the original structure and juts out into the street like a massive shard. Inside, the permanent collection features over 6 million specimens and artifacts, divided between two main galleries: the Natural History Galleries and the World Culture Galleries. The Chinese temple sculptures, Gallery of Korean Art, and costumes and textile collections are some of the best in the world. Kids rush to the dinosaur rooms, Egyptian mummies and Jamaican bat-cave replica. The cedar crest poles carved by First Nations tribes in British Columbia are wonderful. Each year, the ROM hosts a variety of big temporary exhibits from around the world. The on-site Institute of Contemporary Culture explores current issues through art, architecture, lectures and moving images. There are free museum tours daily. Keep an eye out for the Friday Night Live programs in spring and fall when the museum opens its doors, stocks its bars and calls in the DJs for a makeshift disco. ROM Summer Fridays from July to September have discounted admission from 4:30pm.
